Ethan's Preschool Graduation

This was a big week for us. Lots of stuff going on. But perhaps the most exciting thing was Ethan's Preschool Graduation! Ok, before you roll your eyes, let me assure you I kind of think the preschool graduation thing is silly. BUT it turned out to be really fun and I know that Ethan felt very special. Which for the middle child, is very important. To make it even better, Grandma and Grandad got to come as they are in town visiting baby Josephine. (I'll post about her soon!)

Ethan has been with this preschool for 2 years now. He attended 2 mornings last year and this year we put him in half day afternoons 4 days a week. It worked well with our schedule as Chloe generally napped almost the whole time and momma got some time to herself! Both years he had Mrs. Claudia and Mrs. Bea. They are both wonderful teachers and I hope they are still around in two years when Chloe is ready to attend. (Oh my gosh can you believe that?)

Here is our handsome future graduate of the class of 2029, Ethan William Farnsworth.

I don't have a working scanner so this is a picture of a picture!! Sorry for the poor quality.

When asked what his favorite part of preschool was he said without hesitation, art center. Our little artist can't get enough. We are so proud of you Ethan and so excited for you to go to Kindergarten next year!

Once an Adventurer always an Adventurer! The biggest take away from our time in Colorado was this: just go. Go outside and explore. Go after the desires God places in your heart. Go experience things and leave all the excuses behind. We absolutely cherish the five years we spent in Colorado and we still miss it everyday it seems. For a while the ache was so deep that we sincerely considered moving back. We had to take a serious look at what it was about Colorado that made it so magical. The list is quite long but at the very top is the sense of Adventure at our fingertips.

We don't regret leaving anymore. There was a time not long ago when I woke up almost daily with the thought "what have we done?" Please do not misunderstand, we LOVE that we are close to our family, friends and church family again. It was the driving decision in coming back to Kansas. But the reality is, we all have our own busy lives. Yes, we get to celebrate birthdays and holidays together…

Like Chloe, my hair was getting sooooo long! I wanted to get it shaped a little and cut off the dead ends but I couldn't bring myself to cut off the length. The reason is probably not what you think. You see my almost 4 year old is in love with it. She thinks I'm Rapunzel with the power to heal with my locks and some nights, I actually believe her.

Ever since she was an infant she has been using my hair as a soothing mechanism. When she use to nurse, her little arm would stick straight up and search for some hair to hold - eyes closed all the while. She doesn't pull it. She just gently holds it in her hand like a child might hold a blankie. (She has one of those too.)

When she's going to bed "Mommy, Can I hold your hair?"
When she's not feeling well, "Can I hold your hair?"
When we are snuggling and watching a show - she usually doesn't even ask.
When she is playing dress up "Can I fix your hair?"
When she has a boo boo - &qu…

When we lived in Colorado (if I may use that phrase... yes I know we say it a lot. We can't help it) we used to go to skate parks often, especially when we lived in town. You can type skate in our blog search bar and get several fun skatepark blog posts. Unfortunatly several years back we had some data loss so many of our pictures from a section of time are sadly gone now but I digress.

For Aaron's birthday this year (that was at a park in Olathe with a skate park) he got a new skateboard which reignited his desire to learn new tricks. It turns out skateboards are very difficult to get the hang of. Someday perhaps. For now, he LOVES his Razor scooter still. As does Ethan and now even Chloe has one! This little miss wants to be just like her older brothers for sure. She's learning to "Try, Try, again!"

We've been loving warmer weather and more opportunities to check out local parks. There are a couple good ones in the area though they are a bit of a dri…
